How can nutmeg kill you?

Answer 1

About 8 tablespoons would be considered deadly. There were people who had taken a whole bottle and just got sick the next day but I wouldn't advise trying that. The right dosage to hallucinate is 2 tablespoons but you wont feel the effects right away. It takes 4 to 5 hours for the Myrcistin chemical in it to kick in and block off brain receptors. This chemical works similar to that of dopamine in which it blocks brain receptors to give you a certain state of mind. My Grandpa took 2 tablespoons once and in about 3 hours he felt high. In the other 2 hours he was tellin me stories about a guy named Fice New eating his armpits and a monster named Fat News coming out of the air conditioner eating his belly button with a strand of spaghetti. Then I told him to calm down and he told me that the room melted away and he knew all the answers to life and understood how we exsisted. You have to control your emotions on it though or you'll end up tripping a nightmare that won't go away until your calm.
